Museums of Paris

   By far, the most famous museum in Paris, is the Louvre.  This massive structure stands near the River Seine and is a huge almost u shaped structure that is filled with art throughout the ages.

Some of its most famous works include "The Dying Slave", by Michelangelo and the "Mona Lisa".  It is a beautiful place, but often crowded.  If you want to see all the exhibits, you'd better come early.

 

There are dozens of museums in Paris, all with different works depending on your taste, including a National History Museum, Museum of Modern Art and the Picasso Museum.  Visit the Paris site for more information.
